Harris asked Hugh Searles what he thought of higher education for women. "Yes, yes, Mr. Searles," said Gertrude, "please tell us all about the English girl." "Does she go to college, and does she ride a bicycle!" queried Lucille. Mrs. Harris was eager to listen to the Englishman's reply for often she had earnestly talked the matter over in her home. Mr.

The two women had in some way possessed themselves of another copy, an exact duplicate, even to its blue paper cover; and I sat down and began recalling everything Searles had told me about his efforts to find the actress. The telephone on the table at my elbow rang until Flynn came in timidly to quiet it. "If it's Mr. Torrence " I began. "It's the Barton station, sir. There's a telegram."

The subject was thus discussed with profit, till the Turkish coffee was served. Closing the discussion, Searles thought that America led England in offering better education to woman, but that England had given her more freedom in politics; the English woman voted for nearly all the elective officers, except members of Parliament.

Huefner, Thos. Roche, F. G. Blume, John C. Ball and Thomas Eagar. Among the others present were Ex-Gox. Low, Mayor Otis, Ex-Sen. Cole, Chas. Clayton, Paul K. Hubbs of Vallejo, Eleazer Frisbie, L. B.

Jim Searles pleaded.

The ride down West Street, New York, at midday, is anything but enjoyable, as few thoroughfares are more crowded with every kind of vehicle conveying merchandise from ship to warehouse, and from warehouse to ship and cars. However, the ride impressed Searles with the immensity of the trade of the metropolis.

Searles Wood does not believe in the possibility of establishing such a chronological succession by aid of the organic remains, and questions whether proof could be obtained of more than forty feet.

Searles looks so disappointed! I thought I should die one night, Mary Andrews and I laughed so." I verily believe that if Dr. Carr had been present at this conversation, he would have stopped at the next station, and taken the girls back to Burnet. But he did not return from the smoking-car till the anecdotes about Berry were finished, and Lilly had begun again on Mrs. Florence.

Every once in a while, when she would be about to paint something in lurid colors, he would drop in a word and she would roll her phrases around in her mouth, so to speak, and shift and go ahead in a different direction and on another gear.
